Questionsare based on the following passage.
Never before has so much money been made by a single firm in such a short period of time.OnJanuary 27th Tim Cook, the boss of Apple, announced that it had made $18 billion in its latest financialquarter.Apple"s telephone-number-sized profit stemmed largely from sales of its hugely popular iPhone, which accounted for over two-thirds of its $ 74.6 billion revenue.Chief executives rarely admit to being shocked by their companies" performance, but Mr.Cook said it was "hard to comprehend" the extent of the interest in Apple"s products.He noted that, on average,34,000 iPhones were bought every hour of every day during the latest quarter.
Apple is the world"s largest company by market capitalisation (总值) as well as its most profitable.Strikingly, it has risen to greatness using a rather old-Fashioned business model: sellinghighly desirable objects at fat gross margins, which hit almost 40% in the latest quarter.The tech
industry has bred numerous software-based finns, such as Google and Facebook, that don"t have to worry about shifting goods around, yet they make much less than the Colossus of Cupertino.Amazon handles lots of physical goods, but loses money.
Another thing that sets Apple apart from the tech pack is its success in conquering China.Whilerivals have been frustrated there, Apple has just become the largest force in China"s smartphone market measured by units shipped, according to Canalys, a market-research firm.Any failure in China could hurt Apple.The company"s overall dependence on the iPhone is anotherrisk.But these are early days for the iPhone 6, Apple"s latest device, whose bigger screen takes the firminto the "phablet" (平板手机) category of larger phones that are wildly popular with customers.Some
iFans also point out that Apple"s share of the smartphone market is small compared with devices using Google"s Android operating system.So it has plenty of room to grow.Mr.Cook said this week that its much-anticipated smartwatch will go on sale in April.Tim Bajarin of Creative Strategies, a consulting ftrm, thinks Apple could sell 22m -24m in the first 12 months after
the launch, producing billions of dollars of new revenue.Sanford C.Bernstein, a research firm, reckons the watches will have a higher-than-average gross margin, which predicts good profits.Apple should be able to make more money from software and services, too.
A large part of Apple‘s fat profit comes from__________. 查看材料
A.the sales of its smartwatch
B.the sales of its software
C.the sales of its service
D.the sales of its iPhone
In interpreting ratios such as those in Table 21-1,one must be cautions about drawing the conclusion that diversification is rising as rapidly as the numbers that are reported rise. Suppose a Brazilian buys a United States international equity fund, which places its clients' money in Brazil's stock market. What happens to Brazilian and U.S. gross foreign assets and liabilities? What happens to Brazilian and U.S. international diversification?
In 274 pages Sagan deals with everything from the formation of the Earth to the puzzling possibilities of contact with extra-terrestrial life. This is the moment in history when man's stepping into the universe has suddenly become conceivable. To Sagan this is more exciting and important than was the exploration of the New World in the sixteenth century. So expenditure on the space programme, pruned of recent excesses, ought to continue--it is, according to Sagan, no larger a part of America's gross national income than was the relative cost to England in the sixteenth century of exploration in sailing ships.
The book is not for scientific illiterates, nor is Sagan a pedestrian scientist. Although he makes short work of the unidentified foreign objects (UFO) spotters, he is unafraid to take us on a speculative journey to a black hole which, for all he knows, might be the quick route to somewhere else, not necessarily our universe.
Sagan exhibits a passionate interest in life in the cosmos in which there are .almost certainly civilizations much more advanced than our own. We are the result of a number of relatively recent cosmic accidents, but for all that, Sagan is no less excited about our future,
From the passage we understand that Carl Sagan writes ______.
A.forcefully and complexly
B.elaborately and literally
C.simply and humorously
D.snobbishly and cleverly
Throughout the 1970s, highly processed foods have accounted for the bulk of total advertising. Almost all coupons, electronic advertising, national printed media advertising, consumer premiums (other than trading stamps) as well as most push promotion come from processed and packaged food products. In 1978, breakfast cereals, soft drinks, candy and other desserts, oils and salad dressings, coffee, and prepared foods accounted for only an estimated 20 percent of the consumer food dollar. Yet these items accounted for about one half of all media advertising.
By contrast, highly perishable foods such as unprocessed meats, poultry, fish and eggs, fruits and vegetables, and dairy products accounted for over half of the consumer food-at-home dollar. Yet these products accounted for less than 8 percent of national media advertising in 1.978, and virtually no discount coupons. These products tend to be most heavily advertised by the retail sector in local newspapers, where they account for an estimated 40 percent of retail grocery newspaper ads.
When measured against total food-at-home expenditures, total measured food advertising accounts for between 3 and 3.7 cents out of every dollar spent on food in the nation's grocery stores. A little less than one cent of this amount is accounted for by electronic advertising (mostly
television) while incentives account for 0.6 cents. The printed media accounts for 0.5 cents and about one-third of one cent is comprised of discount coupon redemptions. The estimate for the cost of push promotion ranges from 0.7 to 1.4 cents. This range is necessary because of the difficulty in separating non-promotional aspects of direct selling—transportation, technical, and other related services.
Against this gross consumer cost must be weighed the joint products or services provided by advertising. In the case of electronic advertising, the consumer who views commercial television receives entertainment, while readers of magazines and newspapers receive reduced prices on these publication. The consumer pays directly for some premiums, but also receives nonfood merchandise as an incentive to purchase the product. The "benefits" must, therefore, be subtracted from the gross cost to the consumer to fully assess the net cost of advertising.
Also significant are the impacts of advertising on food demand, nutrition, and competition among food manufacturers. The bulk of manufacturers advertising is concentrated on a small portion of consumer food products. Has advertising changed the consumption of these highly processed products relative to more perishable foods such as meats, produce, and dairy products? Has the nutritional content of U. S. food consumption been influenced by food advertising? Has competition among manufacturers and retailers been enhanced or weakened by advertising? These are important questions and warrant continued research.

A.admiring
